| 14:00–16:30 | Mark-Matthias Zymla | Glue semantics and computation – first steps This workshop introduces different tools for exploring Glue semantics computationally, building on examples from Workshop 1.

The workshop is targeted primarily at participants of the first workshop, but may also be of interest to people who have a background in Glue semantics and are interested in its implementations. |
Please consider making a donation to support the ILFGA! We use donations almost exclusively to subsidize student attendance at the LFG conference, so it's all about encouraging and developing the future of the community!
If you would like to support ILFGA, it is now possible to make a donation online (see here for changes to the ILFGA banking set-up and a link to donate).
The process is safe, quick and easy: you can donate any amount by secure card transaction (in AUD, CAD, EUR, GBP, or USD). Even very small donations are gratefully received – they all add up! Donations can be anonymous, and the 'tip' suggested for JustGiving can be skipped.
'Drafts for comments' offers bulletin readers the opportunity to submit information about drafts or projects on which they would like to receive comments from the community. This brings work in progress to the attention of the community and plays some of the role that previous incarnations of the archive played.
Please submit basic article/project information and (a) a URL if the item is available online or else (b) your contact email.
